About three weeks ago this nice little tom started visiting us. We
have two indoor cats and they were pretty agitated.
He kept coming around, and I took a good look at him. He was
un-neutered, looked to be a year or two old, was bedraggled and
riddled with ear mites. Other than that he was...

How does one go about domesticating ferile kittens?
The dh brought home 6 of them. They are approx. 8 - 12 wks. old. and want no
parts of being picked up - hissing, biting and scratching ensues when you
try. They had been living under a friend's porch but were upsetting the
resident 22 yr.old (not...

Hello,
I wish to adopt/purchase a Chartreux cat or kitten. I really do like
this breed of cat and wish to obtain one for a household pet. I live in
Memphis, TN and would appreciate any referrals to breeders in this area
also. Thank you.

My wife and I went with great trepidation down to the rec center where
the neighborhood kid had seen the "missing cat" poster.
It wasn't the stray we've adopted. Much ado about nothing.
Well, maybe not nothing. It got me worked up again about how careless
some folks are with their pets. We...

We have a Tonkinese female, about 6 years old, that we absolutely must get
out of the house. We want her to have a good home, but the Tonkinese rescue
group has not been responsive, despite repeated efforts for their help. The
cat must go. She urinates huge amounts of urine periodically, so she...

Just trying to cover all bases here. I've also sent email to NorCal Sled
dog rescue and Heart Bandits. But I'm not going to be able to follow-up
on the dog myself so ....
I have a friend who found a stray American Eskimo. She's been contacting
vets and groomers and shelters with no luck on...

Well I must first admit I've already been feeding it all week. It appeared
very bony when I first started, but looks more like a normal kitten now.
My concern is that this may be a female and that she will be bringing me
loads more kittens to feed if she is not fixed. (I am way allergic to...

Doing a web search I come up with everything from they can be tested at any
time to it's not accurate till 6 mos. At what age do you usually test
kittens?
There are about 5 doctors at the veterinary practice I take my cats to. The
vet I usually deal with told me (last fall) he couldn't test...

I kicked out mother cat because the dumb bitch keeps trying to kill her
kittens. (She killed 2 litters already so far.) So she's outside begging and
purring and clawing (a GLASS window, mind you) to get back in just so she
can sit on the little ****ers and smother them to death!
Cats SUCK. And...

I'm taking a litter of three 6 week old kittens in for a leukemia test
in the morning, they are not a healthy litter, I've had them since they
were 3 weeks old. Please pray they are okay, and if not, that I can
handle it.
Thanks so much, Aimee

Sharon told me about this newsgroup, so I thought I'd post our situation.
We took in a stray cat who turned out to be very pregnant. She delivered
5 live babies, and 1 that was not born alive.
I noticed one kitten seemed less coordinated or weaker than the others
at 2 weeks old. From then on, I...

I recently got a cat from a local rescue. It is a nonprofit, nokill
rescue. They are desperate for donations. If anyone can help, email

is still under...

Hi,
First of all - sorry for cross-posting, I am not sure which of the 3
groups is the most appropriate. I am looking to get a cat for my
grandparents. I like Persian, Himalayan and Exotic. However, I am
looking to spend much less than breeders usually charge for
purebloods, since I am not so...
